Bible Verses About Time Passing Quickly

Today we will discuss an important topic from the Bible, which is about the time passing quickly in life. It may seem a little depressing, but think about it, this knowledge makes our life more meaningful.

Friends, when I was young, it seemed like life was a very long time. But as I get older, I realize how quickly time passes! It seems like yesterday I was in school where my children are going to school today.

The Bible says that our life is like a mist – visible one moment, then disappearing the next. This may sound a little depressing to hear. But in fact, it is an opportunity to cherish every moment of our life.

Think about it, if we knew that we only had one day, how would we spend that day? Surely we would spend time with loved ones, express love, try to do something good for someone.

Similarly, if we see each day as a special gift, we can live a more meaningful life. God has given us each day to glorify Him and serve others.

I remember once I was in the hospital. There I saw an old woman who would wake up every morning and say, “Thank you, Lord, for giving me another day!” I was amazed by her gratitude. Then I realized that every day is truly a gift from God.

So we need to live each day as if today were our last. By doing so, we can be ready every moment for the kingdom of God. Because life’s time is passing quickly

now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about time passing quickly.
